Seriously, of course Birth Control isn't murder, or abortion, or anything but what it is: contraception. I drew this because I was so damn sick of hearing anti-abortion extremists claim that emergency contraception is abortion. (Feministe even had a link today to a study suggesting that EC prevents ovulation rather than implantation. Not that preventing implantation is abortion, but that's what many of the anti-EC forces were claiming). Anyway, once the crazies bring down Roe, birth control is the logical next step, no? Because they don't seem to get the idea that BIRTH CONTROL MIGHT REDUCE ABORTION RATES, huh? BECAUSE ABSTINENCE-ONLY EDUCATION DOESN'T WORK, PEOPLE.

And I plan to do a proper abortion and EC cartoons roundup if I get time, but until then, this cartoon about EC is so full of horseshit, with that fake strawman "if EC is available over the counter then 10 year old girls will get it" argument.
